Canonical Inventory

Authoritative Component Registry

Inventory Version: NS Inventory v1.7
Status: Canonical
Date: 2026-08-04


Canonical Contract

This page defines the authoritative inventory of NeuroSaeculum (NS) components.

  • Names, roles, and versions listed here are canonical.
  • All NS documentation, Kits, analyses, and AI usage must reference this inventory verbatim.
  • Components not listed here are not canonical, regardless of mention elsewhere.
  • Changes to this inventory occur only via explicit version updates to this page.

This page is declarative, not explanatory.


Governance Note — Diagnostic Gating

Structured Diagnostic Triage (SDT) is the escalation gate for live-event and Cortex-based analysis.

When required by a loaded Cortex workflow, Signal Translation precedes SDT. Downstream live-event analysis may proceed only if SDT determines that escalation is warranted.

SDT does not gate static institutional assessment, Civic Topology construction, First Foundation pattern analysis, historical analysis, or architecture work unless those activities are being applied to a live or unfolding event using Cortex.

Components are not interchangeable. Each canonical component may be used only within its canonical role and documented scope.

Notes on Scope

  • This inventory specifies existence and role only, not methodology or usage.
  • Detailed definitions, workflows, and examples live in the respective component documentation.
  • Experimental or exploratory concepts do not become canonical until added here.

Change Log

  • v1.0 (2026-01-12): Initial canonical freeze.
  • v1.1 (2026-01-14): Added Structured Diagnostic Triage
  • v1.2 (2026-01-15): Added Cortex Signal Translation
  • v1.3 (2026-01-19): Added Strategic Interventions system layer
  • v1.4 (2026-01-20): Formalized Structured Diagnostic Triage (SDT) as a mandatory gate for downstream analysis and tool use.
  • v1.5 (2026-08-04): Clarified that SDT gates live-event and Cortex-based escalation; corrected the Signal Translation → SDT sequence; distinguished Field/Tool Application Mode from packaged Kit workflows; and standardized the Structured Diagnostic Triage name.
  • v1.6 (2026-08-04): Canonicalized Framework Foundations v1.0; added Framework Modules, related foundational models, and the Crisis Response Sequencing Model to the component registry; assigned v1.0 to established but previously unversioned modules; distinguished Collective Motivation & Energy Dynamics from Motivational Stack; and standardized Event Overlays as the canonical overlay term.
  • v1.7 (2026-08-04): Updated the Crisis Analysis Kit canonical version to v1.2 and generalized component-governance language to include all canonical component types
